Scotland is set to experience a partial solar eclipse on Wednesday, with up to 95% of the Sun obscured by the Moon. The event, lasting about two hours, will peak shortly after 19:05 BST. However, cloud cover in various regions may hinder visibility, particularly in the northwest Highlands and the Western Isles.
Astronomers recommend elevated locations with clear views to the west for optimal viewing. Community events across Scotland will provide safe viewing options, including the distribution of eclipse glasses to protect against harmful rays.
